Preparation

The Sound bar system serves as an audio output device and features wireless and wired connections. You can place the sound bar on a horizontal surface or mount it on a wall.
When mounting it on a wall, pay attention to the following:
→ The supplied wall mount brackets, wall anchors and screws can be used to fix the sound bar to a wall. The wall mount brackets are designed for vertical walls constructed of solid concrete, bricks or wooden.
→ When installing on a cinder block wall, first verify that the blocks have a minimum of 1.2 inch (3cm) of actual concrete wall thickness to be used for the wall anchors.
→ If you are uncertain about the construction of your wall, please consult a qualified contractor or installer for assistance.
→ Ensure that the wall anchors and screws you use are stronger enough to support the weight of the sound bar and long enough to sufficiently grip the wall.
→ It is strongly recommended to use the supplied wall anchors and screws.
→ Additional tools (not included) are required for the installation.
→ Do not over tighten screws.
→ Use an electronic stud finder to check the wall type before drilling and mounting.
→ During mounting, keep away children and pets.
→ Make sure the sound bar is mounted in reach of a wall outlet.

Caution!
When placing the sound bar on an entertainment center, bookshelf, or any type of enclosed space, be sure to allow at least 2 inches (5cm) of space around the sound bar for ventilation. If the sound bar is enclosed in a tight space, without ventilation, heat generated from the sound bar could produce a potential heat hazard.
